Some within the administration do not agree with President Joe Biden that the Afghanistan withdrawal was an 'extraordinary success'  Staffers inside Joe Biden's administration are 'horrified' with the Afghanistan withdrawal, do not view the mission as a success and are disgusted American citizens were left on the ground. 'I am absolutely appalled and literally horrified we left Americans there,' one administration official told Politico on Tuesday. 'It was a hostage rescue of thousands of Americans in the guise of a NEO, and we have failed that no-fail mission.' An NEO is a noncombatant evacuation operation. Another White House official told Politico that the mission cannot be labeled as accomplished if Americans are left behind. The fury from inside administration was reported as Republicans tore into the president over his call with ex-Afghanistan President Ghani that shows he knew the local army was collapsing and polls showed his approval ratings

This is the moment New Orleans rescue teams cut free a cow that was swept up into a tree by floodwaters from Hurricane Ida.   The footage was shot near Florissant on Tuesday morning, days after Ida made landfall as a Category 4 storm, pummeling Louisiana with heavy winds of 150 mph and torrential downpours that led to devastating floods. The animal can be seen wriggling feebly above waist-high floodwaters as two workers carefully use a chainsaw to trim branches off the tree.  Ultimately, according to CNN, the cow was saved and is back on its feet. The cow appears surprisingly calm, perhaps exhausted from the ordeal, as they work to set it free.  more videos Mum shares shocking video of daughter being attacked by bullies Herd answer buffalo's distress call and charge at pride of lions Moment vet removes huge pulsating parasite from kitten's neck Bush says he's 'comfortable' with his decisions as he reflects on 9/11 Dashcam shows ambulance pulling out in front of ov

A row is developing between Piers Morgan and ITV tonight after sources at the channel said he would not be getting his job at GMB back - despite being cleared by Ofcom over criticism of Meghan Markle that led to him being forced out.  The UK's broadcasting watchdog this morning called attempts to silence the MailOnline columnist a 'chilling restriction on freedom of expression' after the Duchess of Sussex was among a wave of people who complained that his questioning of her account of royal racism and suicidal thoughts was 'harmful' and 'offensive' to viewers.  A string of broadcasters have come out in support of Piers, and ITV's left-leaning former Guardian chief CEO Dame Carolyn McCall is under pressure to explain why she forced him out in March hours after the Duchess of Sussex complained to her directly and allegedly demanded his 'head on a plate', Mr Morgan said in his column.  However, the channel issued a statement today claiming that it w
